Apple is a brand that knows the public they're going after. The added value to all their products comes as a price for the graphically easy-to-use user interface, the reputation they have built over the years for its clean cut aesthetic and all the services that are available to its users.
Many people say that Apple
is innovative, but I would say the just know hot to mass produce fresh technological features faster than any other brand and sum to that all the added values I listed before, they can easily market themselves as the best.
Overrated, sort of. Overpriced, yes. But over the years it has shown that the users don't care as long as it's Apple and all those added values and that's why the prices keep rising.
I wouldn't buy that Macbook Pro myself.
